Made by Qashqa'i nomads in the province of Fars, south-west Persia circa 1900 - 1920, the band is in excellent, complete condition and would make a most attractive wall-hanging.

This tribal textile from the Qashqa'i nomads of the Fars province in south-west Persia dates to circa 1900. Originating from the nomadic textile tradition, the object functions as a horse trapping designed with wool and natural dyes. The piece comprises a finely knotted, flatweave band decorated with geometric motifs in red, white, black, and blue. Small woollen tufts project along the upper and lower edges of the band. A series of long braided wool cords hang from the lower edge, each ending in a colourful wool tassel in shades of orange, blue, white, brown, and red. Two longer braided tie cords extend from the upper corners of the main band, terminating in small tufts. The textile measures 0.1 cm high and 102 cm wide, excluding the tassels. In a modern interior, this item suits placement on a narrow wall space as a wall-hanging, bringing traditional tribal craftsmanship and vibrant multi-coloured patterns to a living room, hallway, or study.

FAQs

Qashqai animal trappings are decorative handwoven textiles created by nomadic tribes in the Fars Province of South-West Persia, traditionally used to adorn horses and camels during festive processions and seasonal migrations.

These trappings were handwoven using hand-spun sheep wool or goat hair, dyed with natural plant and mineral dyes, featuring flatweave techniques, intricate braided cords, and wool tassels.

Authentic pieces feature hand-spun wool with slight gauge variations, natural vegetable dyes displaying subtle abrash colour shifts, and traditional geometric motifs specific to the Fars tribal weavers.

These textile pieces work well mounted inside deep box frames, draped over the back of a bench, or suspended as textured wall art in contemporary and bohemian spaces.

Preserve tribal wool textiles by keeping them out of direct sunlight, regularly inspecting for moths, and gently vacuuming using a low-suction brush attachment behind a protective mesh screen.
